severity important
thanks
Hello,
After some time trying to figure this out, I came to the conclusion that
/sbin/reboot via kexec, which is supposed to be the default behavior of
this package, does not work with recent versions of systemd (eg.
bullseye). Hence, upgrading the severity of this bug report.
The cause appears to be a change in systemd itself and has been
discussed on the GitHub issue tracker [0] since it appears to affect
other distributions as well. There also has been some discussion about
this problem on Debian mailing lists [1].
Currently, the only way to use kexec I could find is to load a kernel
manually using "kexec -l ..." followed by "systemctl kexec".
In the absence of a forthcoming fix, maybe the maintainer of this
package should consider the inclusion of an appropriate errata in the
bullseye release notes.
Thanks.
